    Story of Migs, a kid who just turned 18 who is running his dad's drug business while dad is away in prison. Staying with his Mom, a New York City cop he is forced to try and walk the line between good and bad. Things however get complicated when his father gets out and wants back into the game. Low budget, low key crime drama that has its limitations thanks to the budget and uneven cast, but the film has a great sense of place and reality that over comes its limitations. Absolutely one of the better "gang banger" low budget films that seem to have been made by people in the know that have appeared over the last few years (actually its one of the better low budget independent films). While no where near perfect it is good enough to draw you in and keep you interested. Best of all its got an ending that is affecting.

    Very good movie. It describes a young kid who ended up developing a business mind while running his father's drug operation. His mother displays a non caring attitude towards Mig's father (Magic). Magic was released and tried to regain what he lost but just like all criminals he failed to realize that things had changed. As all movies there is a short relationship established with Migs and Jessica; one that was plain to see if you play close attention to the movie and the script. It's a small budget film that was well directed and filmed in Bay-ridge Brooklyn. The movie does take a Hollywood twist and had a good story plot. I would recommend this movie to anyone.
